    Here in the central California foothills, we were invaded by Italian Thistle last spring, and it's EVERYWHERE this spring. Just the WORST! I see very little coming to the flowers, but it's invasive as hell, and tough as nails. I can cut it down to the ground and in a month it's back and flowering again. And SPINY? It sets the standard!

    About @5:35 - Please don't remove the stems of tallish flowering plants in the fall - cut them back to 12-18 inches so to leave nesting cavities for critically important native bees! If the stems have seed heads - leave half of them alone for birds that prefer feeding on seeds atop a natural flower (e.g. goldfinches with coneflower or sunflower heads) and the other half of the seed heads leave on the ground for those birds that prefer ground foraging (e.g. doves, thrushes, wrens.) Also, leave as many tree leaves as you can on the ground - this is critical over-wintering habitat for many moths and butterflies. Next year's baby birds MUST HAVE caterpillars to survive!

    Important topic and great presentation, but honestly many of the companion-planting recommendations don't align well with the known bloom periods of fruit trees. For instance, most pears bloom for a short time in early spring, while the suggested flowering plants (bee balm, echinacea, bloom in summer. You can still love the color and diversity they bring, but don't expect any improvements in pollination.

    Very common in NE (nebraska). We also get very large swaths of fire flies in suitable terrain. Think, a very grassy and unkept plot. By a river. An area where you would certainly get chiggers by walking thru tall grass. It's very beautiful when viewed from afar. Like a biking path or from your porch. I never figured they were basically the same bug.

    Thank you for a very informative video! There's no need for applying chemicals to remove any plant though - you simply put down cardboard, stone slate on top of it, and large planters on top of that. When deprived of light and possibility for growing for a certain period of time, they disappear. You can put nitrogen infused wood shavings (from your hamster/bunny/cat's tray) under the cardboard to burn off any shoots, and feed the ground while waiting for the nuissance plant to disappear.

    Black Gum is a nice tree. I live near the Turquoise Trail in Reston which has many Black Gums in the understory. They don't get the red color in Fall unless they are in full sun. In my yard is a large one, 30-40 ft, that produces the small black fruits but I've never been close enough to see the flowers, they're really quite small, indistinct. Once you see a mature tree and the bark it's easy to recognize. You can also see small hornbeam trees on this trail.

    Somehow... this is informative on one side, but super ignorant on the other. All insects are beneficial to the rest of the planet......not just to your $ investments you put into your garden. I love that insects cause millions of dollars of damage to human interests. Every penny is well deserved for the damage humans put onto nature. poisoning insects so birds, amphibians and reptiles can also be poisoned...seems like a strange double standard. Again.... Im not pointing fingers... but you are putting out equally dangerous information.... along with great insights into the ecosystem

    Great presentation! Thank you for all the helpful info. However, I must disagree with your suggestion about not growing grocery store variety garlic. I grew garlic that I purchased from the grocery store last year and I had a great harvest! I think the key is to make sure the garlic is organic. 🧄🤍 The same rule applies when buying potatoes from the grocery store that you intend to plant. (P.S. In case anyone was curious, grocery store garlic is usually a soft neck variety because it’s stores longer 😉)

This year I’m diving into hard neck territory along with some of the cloves from this years soft neck harvest. I am also living in a zone 7a & I’ll be planting out my garlic today or tomorrow since we had our first frost two days ago & there should be no chance of the garlic starting to grow it’s tops. I wish you the best of luck growing your garlic this year!

Luckily, the crop was still successful in the end but I think I might have gotten more root growth & a bigger bulb size had I waited just a little bit later to plant them. I just added extra mulch around their bases & made sure to water them about once a month whenever the soil seemed to be drying out. I think you’ll be successful with your first planting but that is a smart idea to plant some more now just in case 😉
